I have the money to pay for this but right now this app is called bittorrent.
Here's a simple challenge: find a legal online streaming service, any service which shows Mists Of Avalon from 2001. (Yes, yes, I know, I can find the Russian site which streams it for free, I strongly suspect it's pirating it.)
When I was younger I mostly torrented out of necessity. There were a few things I bought, but only if I could afford it.
These days I end up buying a fair amount of music and games with only a fraction acquired elsewhere. Both Bandcamp and GOG.com have been have sinks of money for me.
As for TV shows and movies, I only wish there was an equivalent which didn't sell an experience subpar to a DRM-free mkv.
An unusual but significant factor in the lack of streaming rights for The Mists of Avalon may be the allegations of child sexual abuse against Marion Zimmer Bradley, the author of the source material for that series.

I maybe am making too much of an assumption about your financial status, but I don't think you do. Because there's not like... an actual market for media.
The price, like any monopoly, is how effectively they can price discriminate combined with what they think they can ask. You ask "How much?", the answer is "What you got?".
I want an app that lets me play whatever I want.
